1 Energy efficiency. Electrical installation in energy-saving buildings.

2 For energy-efficient buildings. Intelligent installation systems. In addition to the requirements of the user regarding architecture and function, building technology which conforms to future needs must now primarily comply with very specific planning regulations. Important regulations define the energy standard of buildings. This requires primary energy consumption to be reduced through higher efficiency. With the right planning, intelligent technology and suitable materials, the potential for previously unused energy-saving methods can now be utilised completely in line with the EU directive on building efficiency and the national principles. Ultimately, living comfort, quality of work and potential savings are all positive side effects of planning regulations. Innovative KAISER products help you to satisfy the increasing requirements of the EU directives as well as national regulations such as the Energy-Saving Ordinance (EnEV). In this way, you can easily and reliably achieve the required air-tight building shell for example, with ECON technology which is used in a new generation of air-tight cavity wall boxes and flushmounting one-gang boxes. We also offer products suitable for electrical installations in insulated exterior facades without heat bridges such as the universal equipment carrier, and also for retrofitting. 2

4 Principles. Laws and technology. As energy prices increase, energy efficiency is becoming more and more important when the value of a building is assessed. The same principle applies to new buildings and for renovation and refurbishment work. For example, according to the new laws, the building shell must now achieve 15% greater efficiency, and walkable storey floors must be insulated and air-tight (including subsequently). The air tightness of buildings is defined in the EnEV (German Energy- Saving Ordinance) and also in DIN At a European level, the "Directive on the overall energy efficiency of buildings" formulates requirements that were implemented in German law with the amendment of the Energy-Saving Act 2005 and updating of the EnEV (Energy-Saving Ordinance) The basis of the new Energy- Saving Ordinance is the Energy-Saving Act (EnEG) which came into force on October 1, In accordance with the EnEV 2009, the requirements were again increased, and will increase even more as of 2012 and In Austria, the EU directive has been national law since August In Switzerland, the "Efficiency Action Plan" enacted in 2007 regulates measures and provisions which are very similar to those stipulated by the EU directive. The energy performance certificate as a key component of the new EnEV (Energy-Saving Ordinance) has been a prerequisite for all buildings for selling, renting or leasing since It creates more transparency for both buyers and tenants regarding the energy efficiency of a property. In Germany, the energy performance certificate has been compulsory for residential buildings since January 2009, and for non-residential buildings since July In Austria, this has applied to new builds since January 1, 2008, and to existing buildings since Switzerland introduced the canton's energy performance certificate, based on the EU directives, in October The Energy-Saving Ordinance (EnEV) came into force in Germany in 2002, replacing the Heat Insulation Regulations and the Heating System Regulations which previously applied. The EnEV (Energy-Saving Ordinance) defines minimum standards for new and existing buildings with regard to the insulation standard and the quality of installation technology.

5 Energy-efficient installation in buildings Principles The air-tight building shell and heat bridge-free external insulation are among the most important aspects for meeting the requirements of EnEV 2009 in respect of new build and renovation/refurbishment. The energy efficiency of a building is determined by the optimal use of existing energy sources and the minimisation of energy losses. In addition to heating and ventilation technology, the consistently well-insulated building shell is the most important factor for protection against heat losses. The thermal shell surface of buildings is mainly formed by the exterior walls, through which 25 to 50% of the heat transmission losses occur. Heat loss through roof surfaces is next, at 15 to 35%. Heat bridges such as contact areas and leaks through the building shell also cause losses. This means that in order to achieve the best possible EnEV (Energy-Saving Ordinance) results, the building shell must be kept air-tight and the external insulation must be free from heat bridges especially for electrical installations. The low-energy standard can reduce heat-energy consumption to approximately 40% in comparison with normal consumption, and in passive houses even to approximately 8%. In order to achieve good saving effects by renovating existing buildings, the main requirement is optimisation of the heat insulation % 25-50% Average heat energy consumption in houses with a living surface area of 100 m ² House type "Normal house" (housing) Low-energy house Passive house Zero-heating energy house Energy-autonomous house (special case) Fuel oil consumption approx l/year approx. 850 l/year approx. 180 l/year approx. 0 l/year approx. 0 l/year Use of energy 187 kw h/m 2 a 73 kw h/m 2 a 15 kw h/m 2 a 8.3 kw h/m 2 a 0 kw h/m 2 a All figures are average values from different sources.

6 Installation without heat bridges. Secure accessory fitting in or on the external wall insulation. The quality of external wall insulation depends mainly on the continuity, which means preventing heat bridges. Additions such as balconies or external installations, for example sockets, switches, luminaires, motion detectors, intercoms or letter boxes, all represent risks. In addition to considerable heat losses, heat bridges cause damage to buildings, or even harmful mould. Heat bridge-free installation on the insulated facade should provide a stable fit, but it must not damage the insulation layer. KAISER offers a comprehensive range of products for the secure fitting of electrical devices, components and other building elements, and at the same time conserving energy in the best possible way. 6 Heat bridges are weak spots in the building shell. Heat loss here is much higher than in the surrounding element. The thicker the heat insulation in the elements is, the more important the heat bridges are.

7 Energy-efficient installation in buildings Principles Thermographic images can very quickly show heat bridges on existing facades. A colour chart represents the surface temperature. The yellow and red areas indicate those places which are warm i.e. where there is considerable heat loss. The thermographic image above shows good insulation with external installation without heat bridges. For internal images, the cold areas - i.e. the blue and dark colours - show the weak spots in the building's insulation. C Construction of an organic composite thermal insulation system Composite thermal insulation systems (WDVS) are multi-layer facade constructions which are mainly used today for insulating buildings. KAISER products have been developed especially for composite thermal insulation and other standard systems. Our products fit perfectly and permanently in these facades without any noticeable negative effect on the insulating properties Masonry 2 Bonding 3 Insulating board 4 Reinforcement plaster 5 Reinforcement fabric 6 Reinforcement plaster 7 External plaster KAISER is an active member of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology's export initiative, so presents itself as a manufacturer of energy-efficient products designed to increase energy efficiency on international markets. 7

22 Electrical installation in cavity walls with air-tight moisture barrier foil. Air-tight installation. In lightweight or cavity wall construction, a moisture-resistant foil is fitted on the warm side of the insulation. To ensure that it achieves the required insulation effect, this moisture barrier foil must not allow any leaks, which for example can take place with electrical installations. It is important to use air-tight cavity wall boxes so that the foil is not damaged. The heat-insulating, air-tight building shell according to DIN 4108 is a central element for meeting the requirements of the current regulations. The current Energy-Saving Ordinance and the Energy Performance Certificate apply for sellers, landlords and lessors of buildings. These documents are even more important for passive houses, because any interruption to the heat insulation has a major influence on the energy balance. In addition to the energy-related effect, the air-tight building shell has an important protective function in respect of the basic structure of a building. This is because if warm air comes into contact with cooler surfaces during construction, the resulting condensation causes damage due to damp, or even mould. 22

23 Energy-efficient installation in buildings Principles The air tightness of buildings can be measured and checked using the differential pressure process, the so-called "blower door" method acc. to DIN EN A blower door with an integrated fan creates an over-pressure or under-pressure of 50 Pascal. The more leaks the building shell has, the more power the fan has to use. If a constructional defect is discovered, liability periods of up to 30 years apply to those responsible. Visually, the measurements can be impressively documented by means of thermographic images, as leaks can be seen immediately. The presence of uncontrolled draughts from sockets can be demonstrated with a thermoanemometer.

24 Air-tight installation in cavity wall and masonry constructions. ECON technology. Air-tight installation in cavity walls and flush-mounting constructions is guaranteed by KAISER's ECON technology products. The elasticity of the sealing membrane ensures that when it is penetrated, it fits tightly around the cable or the conduit. Uncontrolled air flows are excluded, and heat losses and constructional damage caused by condensation are avoided. Toolless cable and conduit entry considerably simplifies and reduces the amount of work involved in installation, and is an important advantage of ECON technology. Integrated cable retention in the new clamp technology easily satisfies the requirements of DIN VDE 0606 / EN for cavity wall boxes and ensures certified security and safety. 24

25 ECON technology Cavity wall and flush-mounting Products with ECON technology are airtight and ensure that undesirable ventilation heat losses do not take place. This is how ECON plays an important part in satisfying the requirements of the EU directive on energy efficiency and the relevant national requirements, for example the German EnEV. The guaranteed air-tight and easy-to-use ECON technology is a KAISER standard for intelligent building installation. You can already find this technology in various KAISER cavity wall and flush-mounting boxes, one-gang junction boxes for composite thermal insulation systems and in the EnoX installation housing for air-tight electrical installation in the insulation level.

26 Air-tight flush-mounting box with ECON technology. UP PLUS The air-tight one-gang box and one-gang junction box with ECON technology are designed for electrical installations in external walls. The enclosed design and ECON technology ensure that when sockets are fitted, there are no airflows between the hollow chambers in the masonry and the interior of the home. Air-tight design with sealing membrane Prevents draughts from hollow chamber blocks Variable and tool-free cable and conduit entry Can be combined torsion-proof with snap-in connector Modern processing methods, for example very carefully manufactured stone material (flat block method) is processed using the tongue and groove method without plastered butt joints and using the thin-bed mortar cement screed method. This can result in leaks through vertical chambers when connected to the open air. In many cases, these walls are not then plastered, but only filled. Above all, installation boxes which have not been fully plastered-in can soon cause draughts. 26
